I am trying to draw a shape or font on dialog and then fill the outline. I have 2 buttons on this 2 buttons I have the following code
Then in the drawing part I have the following.
When I remove the BeginPath() and EndPath() functions my lines are being drawn. But when I insert this BeginPath() and EndPath() and StrokeAndFillPath(hDC); the nothing is being drawn.
Why it is not doing as per the expectations. I want to draw a shape for example A with a outline. And i want it to be closed when drawing is ended and filled the hollow portion.
What am I doing wrong in this ? Please help. I am not implementing it in WM_PAINT but drawing is done in WM_LBUTTONUP. Please help. Thanks a lot in advance
Code:
case IDC_BUTTON1:
MessageBox(hDlg, L"Start Drawing!!", L"ButtonPressed", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
hDC = GetDC(hDlg);
brush = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(128, 128, 128));
SelectObject(hDC, brush);
hpen = CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 1, RGB(128, 0, 128));
SelectObject(hDC, hpen);
BeginPath(hDC);
break;
case IDC_BUTTON2:
MessageBox(hDlg, L"End Drawing!!", L"ButtonPressed", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
EndPath(hDC);
StrokeAndFillPath(hDC);
DeleteObject(brush);
ReleaseDC(hDlg, hDC);
break;Code:
case WM_LBUTTONUP:
if (IsDlgButtonChecked(hDlg, IDC_RADIO1) == BST_CHECKED )
{
EndX = LOWORD(lParam);
EndY = HIWORD(lParam);
SetROP2(hDC, R2_XORPEN);
MoveToEx(hDC, StartX, StartY, NULL);
LineTo(hDC, EndX, EndY);
IsDrawing = FALSE;
